★ Notes

- Apple Maps is used in iOS 6 and later.

- The app can also record your locations when running in the background. However, to save battery life of your iOS device, locations will be reported approximately every 40-50 meters when app is running in the background, and connected to the previously reported one. Therefore, no fog will be removed if you only move a few meters.

- The foreground app always has the highest priority in iOS, so iOS will close background apps when memory is not enough. This usually happens when you're playing a game. Make sure the recording mode is on before moving.

- Your locations will be recorded only when there are at least 3 GPS signal bars even though you entered the recording mode.
